Southern Tier 422 Pale Wheat Ale

Brewed by Southern Tier Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Lakewood, New York USA

Ehh. Yellow pour with grassy wheat aroma. Not much going on in the taste. Mild hop, mild grain. It’s an ok summer beer.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear gold color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is dry and slightly sweet with lots of bread and biscuit notes and a very mild citrus back. Flavor is light and dry at the beginning with a slight hint of citrus, wheat, dough, and some sweetness at the end. Dry and lightly bitter on the palate. Easy to drink.

Bottle. A nice clear golden straw color body with a short white head leaving some spotty lace , medium carbonation. Aroma of Light sweet malt , wheat , bread crust , and a hint of citrus . Flavor is very light , it has hints of tangy wheat malt , citrus , honey and faint grassy hops , very balanced . Light body with a crisp clean mouthfeel , slightly dry finish with very little aftertaste . I would think this to be VERY sessionable , I could drink 5 or 8 on a hot day . Not the best Pale Wheat I’ve had but a very good brew to try .

Bottle. Pale golden with green tints. Wheat and floral hop nose, yeast. Light, crisp, grapefruit and spice flavor, flaral and creamy with evident funky yeast. Light and creamy, with restained bitterness that lasts a long time. Very drinkable and refreshing.

Light golden yellow color. Head floats away quickly. Not all that impressive, to be truthful. The smell is a wheat base, that is overpowered by a slight funk of something I can’t quite identify. It’s not altogether unpleasant, but not great. More wheat than pale. The taste is a peppery first sip, which dominates the flavor. A strange pilsnery hop, which seems out of place here. Really sharp flavor. Interesting.... The feel is smooth and buttery. A bite on the back and at the swallow. More of a wheat beer than a pale ale, although it has aspects of both. A decent drink, nothing amazing.

Pours copper/gold with a tan head. Smells of sweet wheat and some citrus. Tastes sweet and citrussy with some earthy hints on the finish.

Flaske: Flot lysegul øl med et fint skumhoved. Duft af hyld en smule hvede og et gran humle. Smagen er dejlig frisk med en god karbonering. Finish er en god bitterhed. Dejlig sommerøl.

Bottle @ Hj Hansen, Odense. Pours unclear yellow with a small creamy white head and lacings. Nose is wheat and citrus. Very moderate and mild. Sweet wheaty flavor with hints of caramel. Medium bodied. Dry end.
